University of Utah trustees approve consent agenda, close meeting for executive session on real property

The University of Utah Board of Trustees approved its general consent agenda by voice vote during its first 2025 meeting and then voted to close the public meeting for an executive session to discuss strategy related to the purchase, exchange or lease of real property. A motion to approve the consent items was made and seconded and the board recorded a voice vote in favor.

Later in the meeting the trustees moved to close the public session so invited subject-matter experts could confer privately in the Hendrickson Conference Room on the first floor about real-property strategy approved by the office of general counsel. The motion to close the meeting was made, seconded, and approved by voice vote.

Meeting organizers informed invited experts that, once the closed session concludes, trustees will adjourn and there will be no further public business at that sitting. The transcript records the motions, seconds, and affirmative voice votes but does not include a roll-call tally in the public record.
